The story behind this product

Rob Scarlett’s hugely popular Brunel range sets industrial style against Mid-century Scandinavian design to create pieces made for modern living.
The simple profile of this long bench is thanks to the solid top crafted from American oak plus its sleek powder matching piping as well as a fabric strap to hold it in place.
Paying homage to the pioneering use of manufactured elements within modernist design, the bent tubular form of the coated metal legs provides an industrial feel that blends perfectly with urbane interiors. Please note, both the Brunel Bench Cushion and Brunel Shelf for Bench are sold separately.

Rob Scarlett

Rob Scarlett burst onto the UK design scene when he was named Young Designer of the Year at the 2003 New Design Britain awards.

Since then Rob has gone on to work with some of the furniture industries biggest names, continuously producing furniture that is not only beautiful but functional as well. Establishing his own studio, Scarlett Design, in early 2010, his collections for Heal’s include our best-selling Brunel range aimed at "design savvy city dwellers who are short on space and accessibility but big on style."

Comprising of multi-functional furniture pieces crafted from oak and steel, the result is an industrial-style collection of furniture that has been inspired by designs from the Heal’s archive.
